A Taste of Culture
Avocados have been grown in Peru since pre-Colombian times and are an essential part of the national diet. With the cultivation of avocados throughout Peruvian history, native cuisine drew influence from other cultures and shaped the culinary traditions the country enjoys and proudly shares to this day.
Summer Savoring
This hardy green fruit offers a firmer texture and a delicate taste that complements any meal. Thanks to the consistently sunny south-of-the-Equator location, Peru’s avocados are available from May through September, giving them a seasonality that perfectly fills gaps from other countries of origin.
